The Turgai uprising is an episode of the Russian Civil War.
Background[edit]
In 1918, Alibi Dzhangildin delivered weapons and ammunition from central Russia to the Aktobe front, thanks to which he was able to intensify his activities. In November 1918, Soviet power was established in Turgai.
Uprising[edit]
In the spring of 1919, the offensive of Kolchak's troops on the Eastern Front began. Deciding that the defeat of the Soviet troops was close, in April 1919, members of the Alash party rebelled in Turgai and arrested the military commissar of the Turgai district Amankeldı İmanov.[2][3]
At this time, a detachment of Kustanai partisans consisting of 337 people under the command of the chairman of the executive committee of the Kustanai Soviet, Lavrenty Taran, approached Turgai. On April 22, the detachment was disarmed by the Alash Horde, and its leaders were arrested.[4][5]
Results and consequences[edit]
Soon after the detachment of Taran from Kustanai, a detachment of Zhelaev arrived in Turgai, which defeated the Alashordians and captured Turgai. Retreating, the Alashors carried out the execution of the captured Red commanders. After the departure of Zhelaev's detachment to Yrgyz, Turgai was again occupied by Alash-Orda.
